Philosophy Behind Action-Reaction



 Action is something that is original and it is a production from nothing. Reaction is a copy of the original. Action is original because only God can Act. All the actions of God are independent of everything. Examples of God’s action would be “God created the world. He created all the living being in the universe.” All these are actions as they are created originally and from nothing. All the actions (so called) of human beings are only reactions as they proceed from what already exists. One example of human reaction can be ‘speaking’. It is a reaction in the sense that I did not create my mouth to serve the purpose of speaking. It is given. But then, Can our reactions become actions? It is never. But if it so happens, we pretend to be God and do His work. Let us be reactors and not actors.
